3D Scanning & Replacement Parts
Your Part Is Discontinued. We Can Still Make It.
If you have the original part, even broken, we can scan it, rebuild the geometry, and print a replacement.
No engineering drawings required. No buying a whole new machine because one plastic piece failed.
How It Works
Bring Us the Part
The original, even if it’s cracked, chipped, or broken into pieces. We need enough geometry to reconstruct the shape. Local drop-off in Palm Beach County or ship it to us.
We Scan and Model It
Using a precision 3D scanner, we capture the exact geometry. If pieces are broken or worn, we digitally repair them in CAD software.
We Print and Deliver
Printed in-house in the material that fits your application. Most parts are printed and ready to ship in 3-7 days. You get a replacement that fits like the original.
What We Can Scan and Reproduce
- Knobs, dials, and handles — Appliances, machinery, vehicles
- Gears and wheels — Sewing machines, tools, equipment
- Brackets and mounts — Boats, RVs, industrial equipment
- Housings and enclosures — Electronics, pumps, motors
- Custom fittings — Plumbing, HVAC, marine
- Vintage and antique parts — Classic cars, old machinery, collectibles
If it’s plastic, nylon, or a material we can match with 3D printing filament, we can likely reproduce it.
When Scanning Works vs. When CAD Is Needed
3D scanning works when:
You have the original part (even broken, if all pieces are present)
You need an exact replica
Tolerances are ±0.5mm or looser
No internal features the scanner can’t see
Custom CAD is needed when:
The original is completely destroyed or missing
You need to redesign or strengthen the part
Internal threads, channels, or hidden geometry exist
Tight tolerances are required for mating surfaces
Materials for Replacement Parts
PLA
Display pieces, low-stress parts, prototypes
PETG
Functional parts, moderate heat, chemical resistance
ASA
Outdoor/UV exposure, marine, automotive
Carbon Fiber
High strength, stiffness, professional finish
TPU
Flexible parts, gaskets, vibration dampening
Pricing
Most scanned replacement parts run $75-300 depending on:
- Size and complexity
- Scanning difficulty (geometry, surface finish)
- Material requirements
- Quantity
Simple knobs and handles on the lower end. Complex gears or multi-part assemblies on the higher end.
Quote turnaround: 24-72 hours after we receive or see the part.
Get Started
Send us a photo of the part you need reproduced, we can pick it up or you can ship it to us. We’ll tell you if it’s scannable, what it’ll cost, and how fast we can turn it around.

FAQ
We've Got The Answers
What file types do you accept?
Anything visual works – JPG, PNG, PDF, or even photos of hand sketches. AI-generated images from ChatGPT, Midjourney, DALL-E, and similar tools are perfect. If you have 3D files (STL, OBJ, STEP), even better.
How long does it take?
Most concept-to-product projects complete in 3-7 days. Simple designs can ship in 48 hours. Complex projects or custom colors may take longer.
Do I need CAD or 3D modeling skills?
No. We handle all the technical 3D modeling. You just need an image or description of what you want.
Can you match a specific color?
We stock common colors in most materials. For exact color matches, we can source specific filaments or recommend the closest available option.
What's the maximum size you can print?
Our current build volume handles parts up to 10″ x 10″ x 10″ (256mm x 256mm x 256mm). Larger items can be printed in sections and assembled.
Do I own the design?
Yes. You retain full ownership of your concept and the 3D files we create. We can provide the source files upon request.
Can you do production runs?
Yes. 3D printing is cost-effective up to several hundred units. For larger volumes, we can help you transition to injection molding with your proven design.
